and sun, and all things hot!” Although Olaf might love the idea, summer and I have a love/hate relationship in Florida. Summer has always been one of my favorite seasons because I love hot weather. However, I’ve quickly realized that there are different types of “hot.” For example, a 90-degree day in Pittsburgh used to seem hot to me…until I moved to Florida. A 90-degree day in Florida feels like a 100-degree day in Florida because of the humidity. And with working in Animal Kingdom, you always want to add around another 10 degrees to that number because of our tropical areas. This time of year is also when you will see the most lizards. Scariest part of the lizards I see? They’re almost transparent. You can hardly see them on the walls or the ground because they are so light. And they come out of nowhere quickly (I’m not a big fan of them).
Today I had a pretty cool experience while working. A few members of the Orlando City Soccer Club came to Animal Kingdom to film for a promotion for showing kids how to keep our Earth as clean as possible with tasks such as walking, recycling, and throwing away trash. They incorporated some athletic skills as well to make it more fun. It was interesting to watch the film crew and cast during the process of all the different takes.
